What is 29.97 percent of 59 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 59 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 59 is 100%, so we can write it down as 59=100%.
4. We know, that x is 29.97% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=29.97%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 59=100%
2) x=29.97%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
59/x=100%/29.97%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 29.97% of 59

59/x=100/29.97
(59/x)*x=(100/29.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
59=3.3366700033367*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3366700033367) to get x
59/3.3366700033367=x
17.6823=x
x=17.6823

now we have:
29.97% of 59=17.6823
